from Biblica1Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.2Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can praise him as much as he should be praised?3Blessed are those who always do what is fair. Blessed are those who keep doing what is right.4LORD, remember me when you bless your people. Help me when you save them.5Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones. I will be joyful together with your people. I will join them when they praise you.6We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong.7When our people were in Egypt, they forgot about the LORD’s miracles. They didn’t remember his many kind acts. At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.8But he saved them for the honour of his name. He did it to make his mighty power known.9He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert.10He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control.11The waters covered their enemies. Not one of them escaped alive.12Then his people believed his promises and sang praise to him.13But they soon forgot what he had done. They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen.14In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God.15So he gave them what they asked for. But he also sent a disease that killed many of them.16In their camp some of them became jealous of Moses and Aaron. Aaron had been set apart to serve the LORD.17The ground opened up and swallowed Dathan. It buried Abiram and his followers.18Fire blazed among all of them. Flames destroyed those evil people.19At Mount Horeb they made a metal statue of a bull calf. They worshipped that statue of a god.20They traded their glorious God for a statue of a bull that eats grass.21They forgot the God who saved them. They forgot the God who had done great things in Egypt.22They forgot the miracles he did in the land of Ham. They forgot the wonderful things he did by the Red Sea.23So he said he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stood up for them. He kept God’s anger from destroying them.24Later on, they refused to enter the pleasant land of Canaan. They didn’t believe God’s promise.25In their tents they told the LORD how unhappy they were. They didn’t obey him.26So he lifted up his hand and promised that he would make them die in the desert.27He promised he would scatter their children’s children among the nations. He would make them die in other lands.28They joined in worshipping the Baal that was worshipped at Peor. They ate food that had been offered to gods that aren’t even alive.29Their evil ways made the LORD angry. So a plague broke out among them.30But Phinehas stood up and took action. Then the plague stopped.31What Phinehas did made him right with the LORD. It will be remembered for all time to come.32By the waters of Meribah the LORD’s people made him angry. Moses got in trouble because of them.33They refused to obey the Spirit of God. So Moses spoke without thinking.34They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan as the LORD had commanded them.35Instead, they mixed with those nations and adopted their ways.36They worshipped statues of their gods. That became a trap for them.37They sacrificed their sons and daughters as offerings to false gods.38They killed those who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong. They killed their own sons and daughters. They sacrificed them as offerings to statues of the gods of Canaan. The land became ‘unclean’ because of the blood of their children.39The people made themselves impure by what they had done. They weren’t faithful to the LORD.40So the LORD became angry with his people. He turned away from his own children.41He handed them over to the nations. Their enemies ruled over them.42Their enemies treated them badly and kept them under their power.43Many times the LORD saved them. But they refused to obey him. So he destroyed them because of their sins.44Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering.45Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant. Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them.46He made all those who held them as prisoners have mercy on them.47LORD our God, save us. Bring us back from among the nations. Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy. We will celebrate by praising you.48Give praise to the LORD, the God of Israel, for ever and ever. Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the LORD.
Psalm 106
New International Version
from Biblica1Praise the Lord.[1] Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures for ever.2Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare his praise?3Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.4Remember me, Lord, when you show favour to your people, come to my aid when you save them,5that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.6We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.7When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.[2]8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known.9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.10He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.11The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.12Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.13But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.14In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.15So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.16In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.18Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.19At Horeb they made a calf and worshipped an idol cast from metal.20They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.21They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,22miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.23So he said he would destroy them – had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.24Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.25They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the Lord.26So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness,27make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.28They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;29they aroused the Lord’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.30But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.31This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.32By the waters of Meribah they angered the Lord, and trouble came to Moses because of them;33for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[3]34They did not destroy the peoples as the Lord had commanded them,35but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.36They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them.37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods.38They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.39They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.40Therefore the Lord was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.41He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them.42Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.43Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.44Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;45for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.46He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy.47Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.48Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the Lord.
1Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (1Ch 16:34; 1Ch 16:41; Ps 100:5; Ps 105:1; Ps 105:45)2Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?3Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! (Ps 15:2)4Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,[1] (Ps 119:132)5that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. (Ps 105:6; Ps 105:43)6Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. (Le 26:40; 1Ki 8:47; Ezr 9:6; Ne 1:6; Ne 9:16; Ps 79:8; Jer 3:25; Jer 14:20; Da 9:5)7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. (Ex 14:11; Ps 106:13; Ps 106:21)8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power. (Ex 9:16; Eze 20:9; Eze 20:14)9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert. (Ex 14:21; Ps 18:15; Ps 104:7; Isa 50:2; Isa 51:10; Isa 63:13)10So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy. (Ex 14:30; Ps 107:2)11And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. (Ex 14:28; Ex 15:5)12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. (Ex 14:31; Ex 15:1)13But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. (Ex 15:24; Ex 16:2; Ex 17:2; Ps 78:11; Ps 107:11)14But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; (Ex 17:2; Nu 11:4; Ps 78:18; 1Co 10:6; 1Co 10:9)15he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them. (Ps 78:29; Isa 10:16)16When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord, (Nu 16:1; De 33:2; Zec 14:5; Jud 1:14)17the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. (Nu 16:31; De 11:6)18Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. (Nu 16:35)19They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. (Ex 32:4; De 9:8; Ac 7:41)20They exchanged the glory of God[2] for the image of an ox that eats grass. (Jer 2:11; Ro 1:23)21They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, (De 32:18; Ps 78:11; Ps 106:7; Ps 106:13)22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. (Ps 78:51; Ps 105:23; Ps 105:27)23Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. (Ex 32:10; De 9:14; Ps 105:6; Eze 20:8; Eze 22:30)24Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. (Nu 14:31; De 1:32; De 9:23; Zec 7:14)25They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord. (Nu 14:2; De 1:27)26Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, (Ex 6:8; Nu 14:30; De 32:40; Ps 95:11; Eze 20:6; Eze 20:15; Eze 20:23)27and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands. (Ps 44:11)28Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; (Nu 25:3; Isa 8:19; Ho 9:10)29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.30Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed. (Nu 25:7)31And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever. (Ge 15:6; Nu 25:10)32They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, (Nu 20:2; De 1:37)33for they made his spirit bitter,[3] and he spoke rashly with his lips. (Nu 20:10; Ps 78:40; Ps 107:11; Isa 63:10)34They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them, (De 7:2; De 7:16; Jud 1:21; Jud 1:27; Jud 2:2)35but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. (Jud 3:5; Ezr 9:2)36They served their idols, which became a snare to them. (Ex 23:33; De 7:16; Jud 2:3)37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; (De 32:17; 2Ki 16:3; Isa 57:5; Eze 16:20; Eze 20:26; 1Co 10:20)38they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Isa 24:5)39Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. (Ps 73:27; Eze 20:18; Eze 20:30)40Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage; (Jud 2:14; Ps 28:9; Ps 78:59; Ps 78:62)41he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. (Ne 9:27)42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. (Jud 4:3; Jud 10:12)43Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity. (Le 26:39; Jud 2:16; Ps 81:12)44Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. (Jud 3:9; Jud 4:3; Jud 6:7; Jud 10:10)45For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. (Le 26:42; Ps 51:1; Ps 69:16; Ps 90:13; Ps 105:8; Ps 106:7; Isa 63:7; La 3:32)46He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive. (1Ki 8:50; 2Ch 30:9; Ezr 9:9; Ne 1:11; Jer 42:12)47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. (1Ch 16:35; Ps 107:3)48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord! (Ps 41:13; Ps 104:35)
Psalm 106
King James Version
1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;5That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.8Nevertheless he saved them for his name' sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.9He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them , and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them .24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.28They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,38And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.47Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.48Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
1Halleluja! Danket dem HERRN; denn er ist freundlich, und seine Güte währet ewiglich. (1Ch 16:34; Ps 100:4; Ps 107:1; Ps 118:1; Ps 136:1)2Wer kann die großen Taten des HERRN alle erzählen und sein Lob genug verkündigen? (Joh 21:25; Heb 11:32)3Wohl denen, die das Gebot halten und tun immerdar recht!4HERR, gedenke meiner nach der Gnade, die du deinem Volk verheißen hast; erweise an uns deine Hilfe,5dass wir sehen das Heil deiner Auserwählten und uns freuen, dass es deinem Volke so gut geht, und uns rühmen mit denen, die dein Eigen sind.6Wir haben gesündigt samt unsern Vätern, wir haben unrecht getan und sind gottlos gewesen. (Da 9:5)7Unsre Väter in Ägypten wollten deine Wunder nicht verstehen. Sie gedachten nicht an deine große Güte und waren ungehorsam am Meer, am Schilfmeer. (Ex 14:11)8Er aber half ihnen um seines Namens willen, dass er kundtue seine Macht.9Er schalt das Schilfmeer, da wurde es trocken, und führte sie durch die Tiefen wie durch trockenes Land10und half ihnen aus der Hand dessen, der sie hasste, und erlöste sie von der Hand des Feindes.11Und die Wasser bedeckten ihre Widersacher, dass nicht einer übrig blieb.12Da glaubten sie an seine Worte und sangen sein Lob. (Ex 15:21)13Aber sie vergaßen bald seine Werke, sie warteten nicht auf seinen Rat.14Und sie wurden lüstern in der Wüste und versuchten Gott in der Einöde. (Nu 11:4)15Er aber gab ihnen, was sie erbaten, und sandte ihnen eine Plage. (Nu 11:33)16Und sie empörten sich wider Mose im Lager, wider Aaron, den Heiligen des HERRN. (Nu 16:1)17Die Erde tat sich auf und verschlang Datan und deckte zu die Rotte Abirams, (Nu 16:31)18und Feuer wurde unter ihrer Rotte angezündet, die Flamme verbrannte die Frevler.19Sie machten ein Kalb am Horeb und beteten das gegossene Bild an (Ex 32:1)20und tauschten die Herrlichkeit Gottes gegen das Bild eines Ochsen, der Gras frisst. (Ro 1:23)21Sie vergaßen Gott, ihren Heiland, der so große Dinge in Ägypten getan hatte, (De 32:18)22Wunder im Lande Hams und schreckliche Wunder am Schilfmeer.23Und er gedachte, sie zu vertilgen, wäre nicht Mose gewesen, sein Auserwählter; der trat vor ihm in die Bresche, seinen Grimm abzuwenden, dass er sie nicht verderbe. (De 9:25)24Und sie achteten das köstliche Land gering; sie glaubten seinem Worte nicht (De 8:7)25und murrten in ihren Zelten; sie gehorchten der Stimme des HERRN nicht.26Da erhob er seine Hand wider sie, dass er sie niederschlüge in der Wüste27und würfe ihre Nachkommen unter die Völker und zerstreute sie in die Länder.28Und sie hängten sich an den Baal-Peor und aßen von den Opfern für die Toten (Nu 25:3)29und erzürnten den Herrn mit ihrem Tun. Da brach die Plage herein über sie.30Da trat Pinhas hinzu und vollzog das Gericht; da wurde der Plage gewehrt; (Nu 25:7)31das wurde ihm gerechnet zur Gerechtigkeit von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht ewiglich.32Und sie erzürnten den Herrn am Haderwasser, und Mose ging es übel um ihretwillen; (Nu 20:2)33denn sie erbitterten seinen Sinn, dass ihm unbedachte Worte entfuhren.34Auch vertilgten sie die Völker nicht, wie ihnen der HERR doch geboten hatte, (De 7:1; De 12:2; Jud 1:28; Jud 2:23)35sondern vermischten sich mit den Heiden und lernten ihre Werke36und dienten ihren Götzen; die wurden ihnen zum Fallstrick.37Und sie opferten ihre Söhne und ihre Töchter den bösen Geistern (Le 18:21; 2Ki 21:6; 2Ki 21:16)38und vergossen unschuldig Blut, das Blut ihrer Söhne und Töchter, die sie opferten den Götzen Kanaans, sodass das Land mit Blutschuld befleckt ward.39Sie machten sich unrein mit ihren Werken und wurden abtrünnig durch ihr Tun.40Da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN über sein Volk, und sein Erbe wurde ihm zum Abscheu.41Er gab sie in die Hand der Völker, dass über sie herrschten, die ihnen gram waren. (Jud 2:14)42Und ihre Feinde bedrängten sie, und sie wurden gedemütigt unter ihre Hand.43Er errettete sie oftmals; / aber sie erzürnten ihn mit ihrem Vorhaben und schwanden dahin um ihrer Missetat willen.44Da sah er ihre Not an, als er ihre Klage hörte,45und gedachte um ihretwillen an seinen Bund, und es reute ihn nach seiner großen Güte.46Und er ließ sie Barmherzigkeit finden bei allen, die sie gefangen hielten.47Hilf uns, HERR, unser Gott, und bring uns zusammen aus den Völkern, dass wir preisen deinen heiligen Namen und uns rühmen, dass wir dich loben können! (De 30:3; 1Ch 16:35)48Gelobt sei der HERR, der Gott Israels, von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, und alles Volk spreche: Amen! Halleluja! (1Ch 16:36; Ps 41:14)
